We have a wealth of talent coming through the back row. I hope our locks can do the same. Shame Will Evans is injured.

before the 6 nations .

I would start Dan Davis. We need a someone around the breakdown to steal the ball. I think Taylor may be better than Douglas, both seem to like smashing players but are penalty machines.

I would like to see how many turnovers he’s had in 3-4 years. I’d bet Marnus at hooker is light years ahead of him at open side already. 

He’s a semi pro level player, Jarrod Taylor is a much better player.

With RGC.  I watch the SRC highlights every week and everything their backs do comes from him.  He puts his centres into space, his distribution is good.  Also has a decent boot on him.  You can't tell much from brief highlights I know, but he's always the shining light in the bits I've seen.

Thanks for this. Let's hope he can step up. From what I remember of him , he's a neat player and physical enough.  The step up in pace and intensity will be a challenge. 
Carwyn, of course faces the same examination

From what I remember of young McBryde, he was a very tidy player with a good boot - the one thing he lacked was pace. If he'd been a bit quicker, he'd have played at a higher level. I think.
